Understanding AI and Machine Learning
Artificial intelligence (AI) is often defined loosely, leading to debates over its boundaries and applications. Originating as a buzzword in the 1950s, the term's ambiguity complicates its classification, as many technologies are debated among experts regarding their alignment with AI. In contrast, machine learning, a subfield of AI, refers to systems that learn from data to perform specific tasks and is often seen as more concrete. Although AI and machine learning are used interchangeably in practice, understanding their nuances is crucial for discussions and deployments across various sectors.
